The next morning I woke up early, well earlier than anyone else, around 6 am. I put one of my extra Camp Half-Blood t-shirts on and a pair of basketball shorts, and grabbed a light jacket and headed out the door.

"Percy?" Derek said tiredly.

"Yes?"

"Where ya goin'?"

"For a run. Tell the others I'll be back later."

"Want a partner?"

"Umm... Not today maybe another day. I have lots to think about."

"Alright then." He went back to sleep right after he replied.

I stretched just a bit before I started jogging. I would walk for one minute, then jog for one minute, then sprint for one minute. Repeat. I learned this routine from Annabeth, go figure.

I did this three mile loop, but did it twice before I went back to the McCall's residence. When I got back to the house, Scott and his friends were gone. Probably at school or the mall or whatever regular teenagers do these days. I went to sit on the couch.

I heard foot steps come down the stairs. "Perseus Jackson!" I wince at my full name because no one says my full name without me being in trouble or unless I pissed someone off, which I don't think I did this time.

"Melissa?" I say sheepishly.

"Why the hell are you not at school?!" She asked me.

"Umm? No way am I going to school. I'm 18 now, I don't have to go to school." I say shyly. "I told you I'm only crashing here until I figure out what I'm going to do."

"Well as long as your staying under my roof, you will go to school. No matter how old you are."

"I have a question actually." I asked. I needed to see what she knows about me.

"Yes?" She says now less angry.

"What did my mom tell you about me? Or my dad?"

"Not much. Only that you are dyslexic and diagnosed with ADHD, and that your father was lost as sea."

"Oh. Okay." I said kinda disappointed she didn't know about the whole Greek heritage stuff. "Another question.."

"Yes?" She said guiding us to the couch.

"Why did me and my mom leave?"

"Well to be honest I'm not really sure. But when you two left she told me that it wasn't safe for me and Scott because of something. She acted like she was wanted for murder by the CIA or something. Constantly looking over her shoulder for some reason."

I smile slightly. That's my mom always making sure I was safe. "Oh yeah?"

"Yeah, weird." She said placing her hands on her lap. "Can I ask a question?"

"I asked you one didn't I?"

"Yes. Umm... Why did you come to me when you needed somewhere to crash? I didn't think you would remember me cause it's been so long and you were so young at the time too." She asked.

I thought for a second. I didn't know how to explain without telling her about demigod dreams. Or should I just tell her?

She scrunched her eyebrows, "Also, why did you need to stay here anyway?"

"Umm... We'll I've been a lot of trouble for my mom, ya know, and I kinda went on this 'adventure' with my friends around Greece and Rome. When we were coming home, I called her a couple times and she didn't answer. I found out she was having her wedding ceremony with my now stepdad, Paul, and that's when I realized I was a problem for my mom, so I left and came here." I confess.

She pauses for a minute, then shakes her head. "Okay. But that doesn't answer my question how you remembered me. Uhh.... No offense."

"Umm, I don't know?" Was my brilliant reply.

"Okay. I won't budge, but one day you'll tell me."

"Maybe." I say so quietly, I don't think she heard me.

She got up and grabbed a backpack that I just noticed from the stairs. She tossed it at me. "C'mon! I'm taking you to Beacon Hills High to enroll you."

I decided it was best to not argue, and left with her.
